Kobe Rokkosan Pasture

We will be visiting Kobe on Mar 16-19 and would like to take our kids (6 and 9 years old) to some slow-paced places for a walk or a tour. Do you think the Kobe Rokkosan Pasture is worth visiting? How long should we plan to spend there? Could you recommend other parks or slow-paced places to visit in the area?

I%26#39;ve been up Rokkosan, just out of curiosity really, as they have a cheese restaurant and make their own cheese there. Presumably this is the same as the Rokkosan pasture as I seem to remember there being some open land with a few cows. It was a bit of an odd place with not much going on (even the cheese restaurant was closed when I went!) but pleasant enough to walk around. There were pictures of Heidi all over the place, presumably to remind people of Swiss mountains??





A little further outside of Kobe, but far more interesting, is Nara park, which can be done at a relaxed pace. Also, in Osaka, you have the grounds around the castle and not far away is a fantastic aquarium that you take an elevator to the top of, then walk down. Again, this can be done at your own pace and is great for both kids and adults - it can get quite crowded on week ends and holidays though.
